The event will also provide an opportunity for potential bidders to ask questions. This online early market engagement event for interested parties will be held on Monday 7 October 2019 between 11am-12pm. If you are interested in attending this pre-market engagement event, please email TendersTD.STA@education.gov.uk and copy in Rashida.Akbar@education.gov.uk by close of play on Tuesday 1 October 2019 with your contact details, and a short paragraph outlining the reasons for your interest in this procurement and your experience.

In the event that the Department for Education might decide to commence any procurement process as contemplated by this notice, a separate notice will be published at the relevant time.

Disclaimers and conditions: The Department retains the right to not procure and this early market engagement event is not binding. Any communication made between STA and any party in connection with this requirement, shall not be relied upon as constituting a contract, agreement or representation that any contract will necessarily be offered.
